character information ● name: Eddie Thawne ● canon: DCTV: The Flash ● canon point: End of Season 1, at his death. ● age: no canon age; if pressed, I generally use 28
● (canon) background:Eddie @ DCTV Wiki ● (original) world: n/a
● abilities: Eddie has no superhuman skills, but he is a highly trained police officer who recently rose to the position of detective. As such, he has good hand-to-hand combat skills, is in excellent physical condition (aside from the obvious 'was just dead a few minutes ago'), and has an expert level of competence with firearms and driving vehicles, among other skills useful for police officers. Additionally, he is shown to be a talented boxer.
● strengths:
➞ Eddie is confident. From how he moves and acts to how he speaks, Eddie's confidence is obvious, and he has every reason to be confident. Eddie is quite young to be a detective, a testament to how well he's performed through school and on the job, and he takes pride in his performance. Aware of where his own strengths lie, Eddie doesn't spend a lot of time questioning his decisions or hesitate to stand up for himself, whether it's to call his girlfriend out on behaviour that makes him uncomfortable, or to assert to his overbearing partner that he can take care of himself.
➞ Eddie is intelligent. There is a reason he rose so quickly through the ranks to become a high-performing detective. Eddie is excellent at reading people, and has a quick, decisive mind. He's good at connecting the dots, picking out patterns, and drawing excellent conclusions about situations and people.
➞ Eddie is very good and very compassionate. Sweet-tempered and good-natured, Eddie is one of the first people at the scene of a crime to comfort victims, aware of the human toll that traumatic events can take. He's open and personable, always ready to make friends and meet new people, and makes every effort to be inclusive, to say hello to everyone in the group and ask about their lives. Despite being the golden boy, he sees himself more as the everyman, and makes efforts to relate to other people. Observant, he notices when the people around him are struggling or suffering and takes the time to offer comfort, advice, or share his own experiences with similar problems.
● weaknesses:
➞ Eddie has low self-worth, and while he has confidence in his skills, he doesn't have a lot of confidence in his own value as a person. This is likely carried over from a childhood wherein he was bullied constantly, he only learned to fight back when a gym teacher took pity on him. This can get tiring for the people around him, especially when it causes him to jump to the worst possible conclusions - particularly in his relationships, he is prone to assume he has less impact on the people he loves than he actually does, easily believes that people will leave him rather than having confidence that they will stick by him.
➞ Eddie's low self-worth often manifests itself as a crippling hero complex that ultimately results in his own death, when he sacrifices himself to save the rest of the cast. He values the idea of being a hero quite highly, and when he's called a hero cop or does something selfless, he gets obvious enjoyment out of it, it boosts his ego in a way that is not entirely selfless.
➞ Eddie is cocky and competitive. His confidence in his skills can sometimes boil over into a competitive nature, either at work (openly tallying his arrests) or his relationships (challenging Iris in a game of darts). When he's feeling competitive, he can get a little overbearing.
➞ Eddie is a bit of a ditz - while Eddie is street smart and a quick thinker, he's not very book smart. In a series full of scientists and cool nerds, where 'smart is sexy,' this means he can often come across as a little stupid. This is something he's fully aware of, and he will even sometimes joke about it in order to cover his insecurity about it.
● skills (optional): strategy, weapons proficiency, experience as a Police Detective ● housing (optional): Anywhere is fine!
